 In power plant Boiler level is to be ensured
precisely for ensuring the heat sink of nuclear
reactor.
 Moderator Level is ensured for nuclear plant for
moderation of fast neutrons.

 Float displacement is proportional to
the level in the tank.

61
62
63
 Pressure created by liquid head is-
P α Hd
Where -
• P is the pressure.
• H is the head of liquid.
• d is the density of liquid.

64
65

 High side of transmitter is connected to
measuring leg.
 Low side of transmitter is connected to
reference leg.
 Out put of transmitter increases with increasing
level .
 Condensate pot is used to keep the reference
leg level constant.
67
68
Bubbler method-
 Bubbler method works on back pressure
principle.
 It consists of a tube dipped in the measured
liquid and is connected with a source of
air/gas/Helium at sufficient pressure.
 The back pressure created by level is measured
by differential pressure cells/pressure gauge.
 Dial of pressure gauge is calibrated in units of
level.

71
72
Open Tank Measurement
The simplest application is the fluid level in an open
tank. Figure shows a typical open tank level
measurement installation using a pressure capsule level
transmitter.
If the tank is open to atmosphere, the high-pressure side
of the level transmitter will be connected to the base of
the tank while the low-pressure side will be vented to
atmosphere. In this manner, the level transmitter acts as a
simple pressure transmitter.

73
We have:
P high = P atm + S⋅H
P low = P atm
Differential pressure ΔP = Phigh - Plow = S⋅H
The level transmitter can be calibrated to output 4
mA when the tank is at 0% level and 20 mA when
the tank is at 100% level.

74
Closed Tank Measurement
In a closed tank , gas or vapour exists on top of the liquid,
the gas pressure must be compensated
A change in the gas pressure will cause a change in
transmitter output. Moreover, the pressure exerted by the
gas phase may be so high that the hydrostatic pressure of
the liquid column becomes insignificant.
For example, the measured hydrostatic head in a CANDU
boiler may be only three meters (30 kPa) or so, whereas
the steam pressure is typically 5 MPa.

75
Compensation can be achieved by applying the gas
pressure to both the high and low-pressure sides of the
level transmitter. This cover gas pressure is thus used
as a back pressure or reference pressure on the LP
side of the DP cell.
One can also immediately see the need for the three-
valve manifold to protect the DP cell against these
pressures. The different arrangement of the sensing
lines to the DP cell is indicated a typical closed tank
application.

76
We have:
Phigh = Pgas + S⋅H
Plow = Pgas
ΔP = Phigh - Plow = S⋅H
The effect of the gas pressure is
cancelled and only the pressure
due to
the hydrostatic head of the liquid
is
sensed. When the low-pressure
impulse line is connected
directly to
the gas phase above the liquid
level, it
is called a dry leg.

77
Dry Leg System
A full dry leg
installation with three-
valve manifold is shown
in Figure.
Here the measuring
legs of low pressure
and high pressure are
ensured dry.

78
Wet Leg System
In a wet leg system, the low-
pressure impulse line is
completely filled with liquid
(usually the same liquid as
the process) and hence the
name wet leg.
A level transmitter, with the
associated three-valve
manifold, is used in an
identical manner to the dry
leg system.

79
Level Compensation
It would be idealistic to say that the DP cell can
always be located at the exact the bottom of the
vessel we are measuring fluid level in. Hence,
the measuring system has to consider the
hydrostatic pressure of the fluid in the sensing
lines themselves. This leads to two
compensations required.
 ZERO SUPPRESSION
 ZERO ELEVATION

80
Zero suppression
The level transmitter has to be
mounted X meters below the
base of an
open tank as shown in Figure
When the liquid level is at H

Meters, pressure on the high-
pressure side of the transmitter
will
be:
 Phigh = S⋅H + S⋅ X + Patm ΔP = Phigh - Plow = S⋅H + S⋅ X
 Plow = Patm

81
Zero Elevation
When the liquid level is at H
meters, we have:
Phigh = Pgas + S⋅H
Plow = Pgas + S⋅ X
ΔP = Phigh - Plow = S⋅H - S⋅ X
= - S (X - H)
ΔP sensed by the transmitter is
always a negative number
To properly calibrate the transmitter, a positive bias (+S⋅ X) is

needed to elevate the transmitter output. This positive biasing
technique is called zero elevation.

82

THERMOCOUPLES
A thermocouple is a device that converts thermal energy
directly into an electric voltage when a temperature
gradient exists between the two end junctions of a pair of
dissimilar metal wires.
One end is fused together to form a measuring junction,
the hot junction, and the other end, the cold junction, is
connected to a measuring device.

6
Principle of Operation
Thermo Electric Effect which states that when any
conductor is subjected to a thermal gradient, it will
generate a voltage.
Using a dissimilar metal to complete the circuit creates a
circuit in which the two legs generate different voltages,
leaving a small difference in voltage available for
measurement. That difference increases with
temperature, and is between 1 and 70 micro volts per
degree Celsius (µV/°C) for standard metal combinations.

7
Voltage–temperature relationship
For typical metals used in thermocouples, the output

voltage increases almost linearly with the temperature
difference (ΔT) over a bounded range of temperatures.

2
RTD
The resistance of certain metals changes as the
temperature changes. This characteristic is the
basis for a temperature-measuring instrument
called the resistance-temperature detector
(RTD).
RTDs act as electrical transducers, converting
temperature changes to voltage signals by
measuring resistance.

Lead Compensation
2 wire RTD
Two extension wires coming from
the bulb, to connect the one arm of
bridge. The
resistance of both extension wire
will be added in RTD resistance. If
surrounding
ambient temperature of leads is
changing than valve of Ra and Rb is
also changes. It
affects the change in resistance,
which is not occurred by measuring
temperature. There is a error in
measurement arrangement.
Ra, Rb = Extension leads resistance.
7
3 Wire RTD
To compensate the change in
resistance of the extension
lead, 3 wire systems is used
as shown in figure.
Lead resistance is added in
both arm of bridge so it
cancel out the effects of
change in head resistance
due to ambient temperature.

This is the ideal measurement

for RTD to nullify the effects of
leads but it leads to extra pair

Velocity Transducer to measure speed
 This device operates on the spring-mass-damper principle, is usually of

low natural frequency and actually operates above its natural frequency.
 The transducing element is either a moving coil with a stationary
magnet, or a stationary coil with a moving magnet.
 A voltage is produced in a conductor when the conductor cuts a
magnetic field and the voltage is proportional to the rate at which the
magnetic lines are cut. Thus, a voltage is developed across the coil,
which is proportional to velocity.

The speed of the Turbine shaft is measured from signals

produced by detection adjacent to toothed collars
mounted on the shaft. The signal produced in this

 ROTOR DIFFERENTIAL EXPANSION:
The rotor differential expansion is measured to safeguard

blade clearances. The detector is mounted is turbine

1) The cylinder environment (High Temperature,

Pressure and moisture) is not suitable to install the
detector internally.
2) Easy access of detector without removing cylinder
casing

2
Eccentricity Measurement
Eccentricity is a measurement of the amount of
sag or bow in a rotor. It may also provide
indication of a bent shaft. This measurement is
used by the operator to indicate when the
machine can safely be brought up to speed
without causing rubs or damage to the seals.

3
Rotor Eccentricity Measurement
Eccentricity Considered as the out of Centre excursion of the axis of a

shaft rotation, knowledge of this parameter is essential to give prior
warning of a bent shaft or any form of shaft distortion which may
eventually cause collapse of the bearings.

What Is A Control Valve?
 Process plants consist of hundreds, or even thousands, of

control loops all networked together to produce a product
to be offered for sale. Each of these control loops is
designed to keep some important process variable such
as pressure, flow, level, temperature, etc. within a required
operating range to ensure the quality of the end product.
 The most common final control element in the process
control industries is the control valve. The control valve
manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or
chemical compounds, to compensate for the load
disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as
close as possible to the desired set point.

Actuators
Types of Actuator
• Diaphragm actuators ( Syllabus)
• Piston actuators ( Syllabus)
• Pneumatic actuators
• Electro-hydraulic actuators
• Manual actuators
• Rack Pinion actuators
• Electric actuators

1
Diaphragm Actuators
Pneumatically operated diaphragm actuators use
air supply from controller, positioner, or other
source.
 Net output thrust is the difference between

diaphragm force and opposing spring force.
 Molded diaphragms provide linear performance
and increased travels.

2
 Output thrust required and supply air pressure
available dictate size.
 Diaphragm actuators are simple, dependable,
and economical.
Various styles include: -

• direct acting (increasing air pressure pushes down diaphragm
and extends actuator stem, fig);
• reverse-acting (increasing air pressure pushes up diaphragm
and retracts actuator stem, fig);

3
4
Piston Actuator
Piston actuators are pneumatically operated using high–
pressure plant air to 150 psig, often eliminating the need
for supply pressure regulator.
Piston actuators furnish maximum thrust output and fast
stroking speeds.
Piston actuators are double acting to give maximum
force in both directions, or spring return to provide fail-
open or fail-closed operation
Signal Range
 Pneumatic : 3psig-15psig with source of 20 psig
 Electrical Signal : 4 mA-20 mA

5
Positioner
A position controller (servomechanism) that is

mechanically connected to a moving part of a final
control element or its actuator and that automatically
adjusts its output to the actuator to maintain a desired
position in proportion to the input signal

6
 Pneumatic—A pneumatic signal (usually 3-15 psig) is
supplied to the positioner. The positioner translates this
to a required valve position and supplies the valve
actuator with the required air pressure to move the
valve to the correct position.
 Analog I/P—This positioner performs the same
function as the one above, but uses electrical current
(usually 4-20 mA) instead of air as the input signal.
 Digital—Although this positioner functions very much
as the Analog I/P described above, it differs in that the
electronic signal conversion is digital rather than
analog. The digital products cover three categories.

Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are those valve which are
operated by electrical solenoid coils.
 A Solenoid valve which is normally closed will
open on energisation of the solenoid coil, where
as a normally open valve will close on
energization.
 A very wide range of solenoid valves are
available for the complete process control
requirement, but we shall restrict our discussion
to some of the important types which are used in
process control as well as instrumentation

Process Characteristic

 Dead Time
 Single Capacity process
 Multiple Capacity Process
 Process Lags

1
Self Regulation
 System which attempts to regulate their output are called as self
regulated system.
 Systems without self-regulation require closed
loop control, because the manipulated variable
must become zero as soon as the controlled
variable reaches the required equilibrium
 Practical experience shows that systems with
self-regulation are often much easier to control
than systems without self-regulation, because the
latter have a tendency to oscillate, i.e. they tend
to be more unstable.

2
Controlled system with dead time
In systems with dead time there is no

dynamic response until a certain
amount of time has elapsed. The time
constant TL serves as a measure for
the dead time or lag.
Dead time is also referred to as
transport delay, because the
mechanism of dead time is often a
time delay caused by the
transportation of material at finite
speed across some distance

3
Controlled system with energy storing
components
Delays between changes in the manipulated
and controlled variable are not only created
due to dead times. Any controlled system
usually consists of several components that are
characterized by the capacity to store energy.
The number of storing elements decide the
order of Process lag for the given system

4
Controlled systems with energy storing
components are classified according to the
number of lags that produce an effect.
For instance, a first-order system has one
dynamic energy storing component, a
second-order system has two energy
storing components, etc. A system without
any lags is also referred to as a .zero-order
system. (see also P controlled system). A
behavior resembling that of a zero-order
system may occur in a liquid-filled pressure
system without equalizing tanks
5
Lags
Mechanical and chemical processes exhibit a
similar tendency: an “inertial” opposition to
rapid changes. Even instruments themselves
naturally damp sudden stimuli. We could have
just as easily subjected a pressure transmitter
to a series of pressure pulses resembling
square waves, and witnessed the output signal
exhibit the same damped response:

6
Example of Single Capacity Process Lag or First order lag :
There is a sudden change in the position of CV due to demand
change thus the process value changes from its earlier state

7
The flow rate will
change and will try to
settle to a new position
but this will not be
achieved sudden and it
will required a time: this
delay is termed as
Process Lags and the
here the system
performed first order
delay or Single Capacity
process Lag

8
 A mathematically
convenient way to model
the lags in a system is in
terms of phase shift when
driven by a sinusoidal-
shaped stimulus.
 A function exhibiting lag
will cause the outgoing
waveform to lag behind
the input waveform by a
certain number of degrees
at one frequency.

9
Control Modes
 In control engineering, a controlled system
is primarily characterized by its dynamic
behavior which also determines the scope
and quality required to s
 Frequently, the so-called step response of
the controlled system is used to reflect this
dynamic behavior.

0
Types of
control modes
used for
controller

1
Discontinuous Controller mode On-Off Control
Example This is the simplest form of control, used by almost all

domestic thermostats.
When the oven is cooler than the set-point temperature the
heater is turned on at maximum power, M, and once the
oven is hotter than the set-point temperature the heater is
switched off completely.

2
Depending on the resulting dynamic
behavior, the controlled systems can be
classified as follows:
P controlled systems (proportional control
action)
I controlled systems (integral control action)
P+I controlled mode (proportional + integral
control)
P+I+D controlled mode (Proportional + control
+ derivate control)
3
It must be differentiated between controlled
systems in which a new equilibrium is
established after a disturbance or change in
the manipulated variable and systems with
a continuously changing controlled variable
 Systems with self-regulation only change

until a new stable output value is reached.
 Systems without self-regulation do not
reach a new state of equilibrium.

4
P controlled system
In controlled systems with proportional
action, the controlled variable x changes
proportional to the manipulated variable y.
Example: Flow control

5
If the valve travel
changes in the pressure
control system illustrated
in Fig. , a new flow rate q
is reached (almost)
instantaneously.
Depending on the valve
flow coefficient, the
controlled variable
changes proportional to
the manipulated
variable; the system has
proportional control
action.

6
Fig. shows the block
diagram symbol for
proportional action and
the dynamic behavior of a
P controlled system after a
step change in the input
variable. The
characteristic curves
clearly show that a
proportional controlled
system is a system with
self-regulation, since a
new equilibrium is
reached immediately after
the step change

7
I controlled system
Integral controlled systems are systems without
self-regulation:
if the manipulated variable does not equal zero,
the integral controlled system responds with a
continuous change . continuous increase or
decrease . of the controlled variable.
A new equilibrium is not reached.
Example: Liquid level in a tank

8
In a tank with an outlet
and equally high supply
and discharge flow rates,
a constant liquid level is
reached. If the supply or
discharge flow rate
changes, the liquid level
will rise or fall. The level
changes the quicker, the
larger the difference
between supply and
discharge flow.

9
Fig. shows the dynamic
behavior of an I
controlled system after
a step change in the
input variable as well
as the derived block
diagram symbol for
integral control action.
The integral-action
time Tn serves as a
measure for the
integral control action
and represents the rise
time f the controlled
variable.
0
Derivative controller (D controller)
D controllers generate the manipulated variable
from the rate of change of the error and not as P
controllers from their amplitude.
These are also termed as Anticipation Control
Action.
A steady-state error signal, however, is not
recognized by D controllers, because regardless of
how big the error, its rate of change is zero
Derivative-only controllers are rarely used in
practice they are used together with P controller.
1
Proportional Integral Control
PI controllers are often employed in
practice. In this combination, one P and
one I controller are connected in parallel

2
The dynamic
behavior is
marked by

3
Proportional Derivative Control
The stability and overshoot problems that arise
when a proportional controller is used at high
gain can be mitigated by adding a term
proportional to the time-derivative of the error
signal,
This technique is known as PD control. The value
of the damping constant, D, can be adjusted to
achieve a critically damped response to changes
in the set-point temperature, as shown in the next
figure.

4
This technique is known
as PD control. The value
of the damping constant,
D, can be adjusted to
achieve a critically
damped response to
changes in the set-point
temperature, as shown in
the next figure.
Too little damping results
in overshoot and ringing,
too much causes an
unnecessarily slow
response.

5
PID control
PD control deals neatly with

the overshoot and ringing
problems associated with
proportional control it does
not cure the problem with
the steady-state error. So
Integral action is used.
The effect of the integral term is to change the heater
power until the time-averaged value of the temperature error
is zero. The method works quite well but complicates the
mathematical analysis slightly because the system is now

What is a RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch.

The relay contacts can be made to operate in
the prearranged fashion. For instance,
normally open contacts closes and normally
closed contacts opens. In electromagnetic
relays, the contacts however complex they
might be, have multiple positions.

The 48 Vdc control power supply is designed
for a very high degree of reliability of service; the
positive and negative buses of the 48V d.c. control
circuits are insulated from ground. This offer fault
tolerance capability in the event that if a ground fault
occurs on any one of 48 vdc elements, spurious
operation will not occur unless second ground fault is
established .
In order to ensure maximum reliability a ground
fault detector device with alarm contractors is
installed to monitor the 48 vdc positive and negative
buses insulation. This measurement can be made
manually or automatically.
